Ceremonies With Lisa

touching. Everybody commented on how amazing Lisa was! I strongly recommend Lisa to all couples!!

anning process.

t hours on the phone with me and my now husband (YAY) getting to know us, what our desires were and what we wanted from this day. She listened to it all, and made it happen! She helped us with each step along the way, and when we said we wanted to add something, she was so open to the ideas. She also introduced us to our photographer, Sharee, whom we also loved working with. I would not recommend going anywhere else if you are planning an elopement. Me and my husband had the best day and everything was PERFECT!

that was personal and meaningful to us both. You could tell that every time we met with her, she really listened to what we had to say and was able to incorporate meaningful little details about our story into the ceremony script. Lisa made sure we felt comfortable with our ceremony schedule, ring exchange, and health/safety precautions due to covid. My husband and I knew the ceremony would be the most important part of our wedding, and we both agree that hiring Lisa made our day extra special!

and clearly cared about us as a couple. Afterwards, every guest we had said that Lisa was very personal and that this was the best wedding ceremony they’ve been to, thanks to her!! I can’t say enough good things about Lisa, truly.

d our connection so beautifully and her tools and guidance helped us create incredible vows. With COVID-19 issues, she emailed us first to say she would accommodate any changes and wanted to ensure we had a great day. Her dedication and kindness really floors me every time and I can't believe how lucky we were to have her. We had hand-fasting as well and she explained the process to our guests eloquently. We signed the marriage certificate knowing we had just made a glorious life change and she guided us through it with incredible grace. We adore Lisa and you will not regret booking her. The officiant will guide your love into its new chapter and you want the careful and loving hands of this incredible person to guide you. We adore you, Lisa!!!

nd I non-denominational but very inspired with the sacredness of life and ritual and both of us knowing how much traditions are so very important to us. Lisa listened and brought such light, love and laughter to our ceremony. She connected us with traditional ways along with the embracing new soulful meaning. It felt natural and divinely orchestrated in creating an extremely precious moment of time. We cannot thank her enough for the delight and energy and beauty she brought to us and the room. Everyone afterwards just said how much they enjoyed our wedding. Lisa, thank you for you, your presence and all that you bring into this world and for others and for being part of our very special wedding day. With much love and deep gratitude, Carolyn and David

rg. Lisa helped us navigate this life transition through her humor and insightful guidance. Her presence on both before and on our wedding day was a breath of fresh air. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a genuine, meaningful and lighthearted ceremony.

nd dialogue were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

I could so... 10/5 for Lisa!

n by the tales and images on her website—these couples each seemed to have carved out a unique path, and it was clear that she had helped them to do so! Beyond the immense amount of time that Lisa devoted to getting to know us—both as individuals and as a couple—over early skype sessions, we were impressed by the immaculate organization and professionalism we encountered in her materials. With well-crafted questionnaires and packets that made sharing our lives and love with her feel natural and easy, Lisa slowly gathered the facts along with the less tangible, but more important information about what makes up the texture of our relationship and worldview, and how this might best be embodied in our ceremony. When she finally sent us a draft of our ceremony script—on which she had clearly expended a great deal of time and creative energy—we were so touched by the way it incorporated so many of the subtle details of our meeting, our humor, our love, and the rituals that we had wanted to bring into our wedding. When Chris and I identified some changes we’d like made in order to shift the focus of our story—changes which turned out to be more extensive than we thought, in the end—Lisa met our requests with perfect equanimity and an absolute willingness to revise and shape the project until it felt truly authentic for us. When our wedding day came, along with pouring rain and 40 degree weather for our outdoor, summer solstice ceremony, Lisa worked with the incredibly capable folks at our venue to ensure a smooth decision making process regarding any last minute location changes. As it turned out, the clouds miraculously parted for exactly two hours that afternoon: just long enough to seat our friends and family, squeeze in all the photos, and enjoy our beautiful, mountain meadow ceremony complete with a guest-made circle of flowers, a guitarist, readings, our own vows (thanks to Lisa’s Vow Kit!), and a “hot toddy” symbolic tea ceremony, capped off with a celebratory bourbon cordial shared by all our guests. Within a few minutes of entering our reception a little while later, we were immediately approached by friends and family who were bursting to tell us that it was absolutely the most beautiful ceremony they had ever attended—so unusual, so personal, so sincere—and that there had not been a dry eye in the house, even among our most stoic of guests. Perhaps the most memorable part of the experience for me—the bride—specifically was the fact that among the many, many organizational tasks and communications, I recall feeling extremely eager and excited to reach the one part of our wedding that I was not even the slightest bit nervous about: our ceremony. When the craziness died down and I finally reached the top of the aisle and saw the smiling faces of our friends and family, Lisa calmly waiting in the circle of flowers, and Chris beaming in front of the meadow, I was filled with an infinitely pure sort of joy, buoyed by my complete confidence in everything that was about to unfold: our story, our vows, our ritual, and the rest of our lives. We could not have created a container more perfect for joining our hearts that the one Lisa helped us to build.

a couple brainstorming and visioning what we wanted in our ceremony, feeling so excited and aligned. Lisa showed a real gift for seeing and bringing out what she calls "the soul of the couple." She listened to us so deeply and so well throughout all our conversations, and it became so clear by the end that she really "got us" on a deep level. The result was a wedding ceremony and rite-of-passage process that felt guided by the best of our love and celebrated us so fully and authentically. When I first read the draft of Lisa's ceremony script, I literally wept with joy. I felt so seen, so heard, and so unbelievably excited to get to live through our wedding ceremony. On the day of the ceremony itself, we were surprised with some pretty cold and unpleasant weather, but Lisa helped us stay calm, grounded, and present. Her presence on that day helped us stay connected to our "soul," and that made all the difference. In the end, the ceremony was better than we could have ever asked for. In addition to listening to us and representing us so well, we really appreciated and benefited from Lisa's wisdom. Her rite of passage framework and wedding prep exercises were so useful to us. They helped us put our pre-wedding experience into a big-picture perspective, understand and get to know each other on an even deeper level, and ultimately feel so fully prepared and ready to commit ourselves to each other in marriage. We wanted an officiant who could bring spiritual depth and wisdom about love and marriage to our ceremony, and Lisa did so with flying colors. Finally, through this process, Lisa became a close friend. We are so excited to maintain a relationship with her, share many more laughs and smiles together, and continue to work with her as our "family minister!"

uck or it was fate, but Lisa was the first officiant that we reached out to based on her reviews and I'm telling you to TRUST the reviews! Lisa not only customized our ceremony specifically for us, but she also continuously and consistently helped remind us to focus on what is most important about the wedding; our relationship. When I think back to the planning process, the moments that I enjoyed most were the times when we were following Lisa's suggestions for creating our ceremony and the pre-wedding activities that Lisa sends leading up to the ceremony date. As far as the actual day of, the ceremony felt deeply intimate and personal and it was the most beautiful and complimented thing about our wedding.

dible little packet to not only help her construct our ceremony, but also so that we could bond with each other, write better vows, and be able to take a moment to enjoy and love each other amidst the chaos of wedding planning. Lisa is great about responding in a timely manner, being flexible about changes (we were still making tweaks up until the last minute), and is organized and prepared. Our rehearsal went off without a hitch, and so when it came to the actual ceremony, it was more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We even had guests come up to us afterwards and rave about how amazing our officiant/ceremony was! If you want a truly unforgettable experience, you won’t regret going with Lisa!

ow Lisa over Skype in the run-up to the big day. Lisa took the time to get to know us on a deep level by asking open ended questions and truly listening. Thanks to these Skype talks, we felt like we were in great hands despite never meeting in person. She planned activities and timelines for us to stay on track while remembering to enjoy the process. The end product was a thoughtful, well written, fully customised service that was met with rave reviews by our guests. Several of our guests went out of their way to say how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We cannot recommend Lisa enough, if her schedule is open, take advantage as she is worth every penny.

ur not just another wedding. She makes a point to get to know you and your partner and all you've been through to get to where you are today marrying the love of your life. she wants a full picture of your lives. She painted such a vivid picture of our lives that guests thought she was a personal friend and by the end of it she actually did become a personal friend even though we hadn't known her prior to this. She brings a warm energy and a calming presence. By the day of the service she has met with you so many times and gone over all aspects that you have no stresses or worries. Also id like to note that we are an LGBT couple and we felt so comfortable with Lisa. Thank you so much for making our big day so special!

isa made time to get to know us, we had extensive phone conversations and a meeting with my wife and I in order to get to know us. She wanted to know the intimate things about our life. Lisa asked questions like, “What are your favorite activities to do together?”, “How’d you meet?”, “What do you love most about your partner?”. She used our answers to write our ceremony which made it personal to us. Our family and guests all commented on how beautiful of a ceremony we had, they’d never experienced something so intimate. We had a destination wedding which required our family to fly from Louisiana to Denver, CO. This hindered my wife’s grandparents from attending. Our amazing family threw in a surprised, impromptu moment to our ceremony where they videoed my wife’s grandparents giving a message to us for our marriage. It was super special and emotional and Lisa made it fit right into the ceremony with ease. Lisa is amazing and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone!!

cake collapsed and the linens hadn't arrived at the reception location yet. Lisa was such a calm and comforting presence and made me feel so much better. From the second she arrived, the wedding was perfection :)

individualized to what we found to be important. I loved that Lisa brought up some ideas for how to make our ceremony different and special. Our ceremony was beautiful, and we actually received many positive compliments from our guests! One of our friend's kids said, "wow, I was actually not bored by that ceremony!" Lisa is so kind, and it shows. She was amazing, and we highly recommend her!

oughtful, and she listened to our story and what was important to us. The prep documents she shared were so important - the ceremony reading suggestions, the questions to help personalize our ceremony and the guide to writing our vows. Thank you for being a beautiful part of our love story, and for making our ceremony so very special. I feel like we will have a life-long connection!

uring the planning process, Lisa provided us with great resources and was very responsive and open to anything we wanted to do or have said in our ceremony. The amazing qualities she possesses carried over to the ceremony beautifully. She kept our guests engaged and connected throughout (and helped produce a LOT of happy tears). So many friends and family told us how amazing they found her to be and some talked of wanting to hire her for their wedding! They thought we must have known her for years with how well she spoke of us. I can confidently say that hiring Lisa was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding!

that lead us into each other's arms that day. We hope she will continue helping us celebrate life's milestones in the future. Thank you so much, Lisa! You are the best!

met and captured our personalities in the most perfect way. We can't recommend her enough. Miss you, Lisa!

ies to share from our planning conversations. I can't recommend her enough for your big day. She took the time to ask questions about the big and little details about our relationships and made the most important moment of our day one of the most memorable for our guests. During the ceremony Lisa was so "present" and just an overall calming force. Thank you Lisa!!

our FaceTime AND an in-person meet up) so she could make our ceremony as personal and real as possible. I could not have imagined a more beautiful and special ceremony. Lisa is kind, funny, smart, and very intuitive. She will get to know you as a couple and as individuals and will treat your love as one-of-a-kind so your ceremony is truly representative of the unique love you have. Lisa was such a special part of our love story, and I know we will keep in touch for years to come. Thank you, Lisa!

t we will alway remember. I would highly recommend Lisa to any couple looking for someone to create an amazing ceremony.

iate our wedding, but once we started thinking about what that would entail, we decided to go with a professional. We met Lisa in person to discuss the process and see if we were a good fit. After our meeting, my now husband and I immediately said, book her! I don’t even know where to begin. First, she is extremely organized. She guided us through what we thought was going to be an overwhelming and daunting task and made it easy and enjoyable. She is a great listener and has a gift for crafting a beautiful story out of what we felt like were incoherent ramblings. It truly was remarkable. Throughout the entire evening, all of our guests mentioned how special and personal Lisa made the ceremony and that it was one of the best they had ever experienced!

be a big deal, but we didn’t know how to make that happen. We researched so many different officiants and most of them had a fill-in-the-blank kind of style where they had maybe three our four ‘standard’ ceremony scripts. You give them your money, they plug your names in to their template. Icky. Then we found Lisa. Lisa really took the time to get to know us and make a genuine connection. We had two or three long phone calls with her (which felt juts like talking to an old friend) and we filled out her questionnaire with the a few basic details. What we got back from her in the first draft of the ceremony script was beyond expectation - it was so much more than we felt like we had put in to it. It was 100% us. My husband and I read through the draft, we cried together, and then we thanked the google gods for Lisa. 
 The day of our wedding, so many people stopped us to tell us how much they loved Lisa. People kept asking, “Is she a family member?” and “How long have you all known each other?” My favorite was, “You are so lucky to have a professional speaker in your family!” Truly, I can’t think of any higher praise than that. Our nearest and dearest all thought Lisa was either a family member or close friend based on how well the ceremony fit our personalities and our relationship. We are so grateful to her for all of the hard work and love that she put in to our wedding. She is a beautiful speaker and a beautiful person.

cial/unique. The end result is an amazing ceremony that is heartfelt and authentic. Lisa is incredibly talented and passionate about what she does and, as a result, we could not be happier with the ceremony she created for us! Thank you Lisa for making our special day truly memorable!!

cial day. She goes above and beyond!

ss and did a great job of preparing us for what to expect. She wasn't pushy and never made us feel uncomfortable. We highly recommend her!

ditional ceremony, we wanted it to be more inclusive and personal and she NAILED. She is such a sweet person and you can tell the time and care she puts into her work. She's the best officiant we could have asked for!

vided great suggestions on how to deal with more delicate issues, such as incorporating what was important to our families, while also making the ceremony true to who we are as a couple. Without question, the ceremony is what we have received the most positive feedback about from our guests. Everyone loved that it was genuine and unique, and really enjoyed Lisa and how she performed the ceremony. This meant a lot to us, because in the end, the ceremony is what it is really about. Thank you Lisa!

a was always very open and she is a great communicator. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly unique ceremony.

est to calm our nerves about public speaking and being on the spot. She even offered to cut and modify her script at the very last minute (minutes before the ceremony was to start) in order to shorten the ceremony. I suspect that she did the full ceremony anyway which is great because it turned out amazingly! Huge success! Thanks Lisa!

g and she wrote the ceremony so perfectly. She included little Star Wars references and made it light hearted and fun, but also kept it somewhat traditional for our more conservative relatives. I was so nervous about the ceremony and messing something up, but she made it so much easier to relax and really enjoy it. Whether your wedding is faith based or secular, she respects your wishes and views and has a fun process of getting to know you as individuals and as a couple that makes your ceremony that much more personal. She is just absolutely amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough!

he ceremony was fun and not too long so really it went perfect with our outdoor, fall wedding. I would highly recommend Lisa for any type of wedding you are looking for!

mend Lisa!!

people come up to me and tell me it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever seen!! Thank you for making our wedding special and personal for us and our guests!

y I have ever seen!" ... and that is exactly what we wanted. Lisa, thank you! I recommend that others book with Lisa if you want the process to be simple and very thorough. She didn't miss a thing!

ry comfortable immediately. She is responsive, and very organized, as well as fun and passionate about what she does She brought tremendous energy and personality to our ceremony and makes every single wedding guest feel special. At our reception, everyone was telling us how wonderful they thought she was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We would highly recommend Lisa-she is one in a million!

h to me that she made the effort to do that to get to know me! I never had trouble getting on to Lisa and she was always helpful, kind and has a great energy. The wedding day was perfect and I loved everything Lisa said and read out during the ceremony! Best officiant ever. Thank you Lisa for making our elopement even more perfect.

as perfectly in-line with our hopes, and our guests continue to comment on how wonderful our special day was. We are grateful we were referred to Lisa, and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a truly unique and personal wedding ceremony.

bout us first and then was able to speak to our story seamlessly. She even added some special touches to tie it to the natural scene of our venue and the yogi in me. She really cared and was such an important part of our day. I also think it was a great ceremony for our guests who truly felt like a part of the experience - exactly what we told Lisa was most important to us.

uests also told me that our ceremony was the best they'd ever been to. Lisa provided great guidance and structure to our ceremony but allowed us to take it in the spiritual and emotional direction that we wanted. It was a beautiful ceremony and I couldn't be happier!

e part because of your expertise. We have heard a lot of positive comments from friends and family about the ceremony - and they all revolve around you! Everyone loved your energy and your presence. We did too! Thank you for the meditation ahead of time as well. That really helped us to feel calm and centered going into such an intense occasion. We sincerely thank you for everything

our wedding ceremony. Not only were we thrilled with how it went, but all of our family and friends commented on what a fantastic job you did. Everyone expressed that it was clear how much you cared and that you are "great at what you do!" Thank you for being such an important part of our milestone. Thanks, also, for helping calm us and get us into a great mental state before the wedding; the meditation session was JUST what we needed at that time. You were such a HUGE part of our day. We reflect on our wedding day and what it means for our life and we could not be happier.

rote the most BEAUTIFUL ceremony we could have ever asked for and still to this day, 2+ months later, our guests still talk about how beautiful her ceremony was. Thank you, Lisa!
